>From time to time my hub does the catch skip when I start pedaling too. I
am starting to think that these things are all inherent to the six-pawl
design of this hub. If true, that would be a real shame because it is such
a nicely designed hub and so easy to take apart.

Yes. It is possible for a cassette body to have trouble catching when you
start pedaling. It's not good when it happens and if it was happening to me I
would get it in front of a mechanic and do whatever it takes to make it stop.

Thanks Bill. What I meant by the shifter not solving it was just to rule
out it not being fully in gear, due to operator error or, as you wrote, a
shifter that won't stay put.
I realize the stiff link is the easy check, but I've had those and it
doesn't seem like the symptoms match--usually tha

Adjusting the shifter does not solve the problem. It has increased lately,
and is becoming problematic enough that I took another bike in to work
Jeremy is right. The root cause is your hub and a clutch derailer is a
workaround. Do whatever it takes to put your hub in front of a good
mechanic and decide what to do together. I offered a free clutch derailer
because you were going to throw $200 plus on a new rear wheel which seemed

Don't let me get between you and shiny new parts, but this isn't a
derailleur issue, it's a hub issue. I've seen draggy freehubs cause
similar issues even on bikes with clutched derailleurs.
I've serviced a few hubs of this type, and if lubrication doesn't seem to
be helping, the seals are u
Hi Bill. Though it perhaps reads otherwise, I wasn't trying to suggest just
giving up and living with it! My drive train is still giving me trouble,

Hey Mark, I hear ya, changing my behaviors and having great rides despite the
issue. Still, I can't help seeing what I can do to eliminate it. Complicated or
just a different way of making a derailleur? I'm going to find out. Zipping
down a hill would be the worse time for the chain to get sucke
I've had this happen with my Clementine. I think the longer chain might
make it more of an issue, too. I did not know about the extra strong double
pawl set in the Silver rear hubs. I just don't backpedal on that bike any
more. Also switching from the stock Sunrace thumbs to a stem shifter seeme
Had a nice early morning 16 mile mixed terrain ride. We had some storms last
night in the Hudson valley. The sandy soil along the Croton Acquaduct trail was
pretty soggy and fun. Things were noticeably better with the Appaloosa's drive
train this morning. Still, on the steepest paved descent I g
Well, I got home tonight and went right at it. Took the wheel off. Removed the
cassette. Took my two 5mm allens and pulled the freehub body out. Checked all
the seals and bearings. Cleaned everything dry and shiny with a nice new cloth.
Everything looks good. Found a can of Tri-flow that I forgo
Not long ago I was bedeviled by a noise coming from the back of my
Clementine. It sounded just like a tire rubbing on a fender with each
rotation. I checked everything I could think of without actually doing
anything too much like work, but I could not isolate it. I even ordered the
extra long
Leave the chain alone. One link shorter won't make a meaningful
difference.
best of luck

Thanks Bill. I am going to check these things. Take it apart and check over
everything again. The seals. Maybe try an oil lighter than the bar chain
I've been using. I've got some Boeshield and 3-in-1. Both would be lighter
I think. I did take two links out of the chain. I think it improved thin

On every hub of this type, the cassette wants to spin forward when you
coast. The amount it wants to spin forward is larger and larger the
stiffer the freewheeling ratchet mechanism is. How stiff is the
freewheeling mechanism? Many of us have experienced a whole array of them.
